A modern and relaxed holiday house, ideal for those whose holiday wish list includes: air conditioning, spacious, enclosed garden, walking distance to beaches and a choice of tavernas and shopping. This villa is an easy walk to 4 sandy coves. Couples and groups of friends will enjoy the location and space of the interior and if you’d really like to swim in a pool then you can make use of at least two nearby pools, if patronizing the associated bar in some way. The small and enclosed sunny garden will be appreciated by families with small children with somewhere to play without the worry of a pool (we include a small paddling pool in the beach pack).
Location
This villa certainly lives up to its name being less then 400m or 5 mins walk to the gently shelving sandy beach of Glaros, 6 mins to sheltered Iguana beach, 7 mins to Agii Apostoli Beach and 15 mins to Chrissi Akti Beach. There’s local shops nearby and a big brand supermarket 5 mins walk away. An excellent choice of tavernas are a stroll away and if you feel the need to work off some of those calories, there is an area of coastal walking/running trails beneath the eucalyptus trees nearby. A regular bus service will whisk you to Chania town in a few minutes.
